A 60-year-old man was fatally struck on Friday night in Deerfield Beach, and Broward Sheriff’s Office detectives are working to identify the driver who left the scene. Detectives with the Traffic Homicide Investigation Unit suspect the driver may not have realized a person was hit.

Around 7:20 p.m. March 8, Grigoriy A. Berkolayko was walking east across North Federal Highway at Northeast Eller Street when an older-model Chevy Silverado heading north on Federal Highway struck him. THI detectives say that based on witness statements, the pickup slowed to a near stop and then turned west on Northeast Eller Street.

Responding deputies and Broward Sheriff Fire Rescue found Berkolayko with life-threatening injuries. The Deerfield Beach man was transported to Broward Health North. He died on March 9 at the hospital.

Detectives believe the pickup has an extended cab and metallic beige or gold paint. There may be minor damage on the front passenger side.

The traffic homicide investigation continues.
